Aaron's attitude was also very strong-headed. John was so angry that his temples throbbed, as he was a lawyer who always reasoned with evidence and law. Facing the unreasonable Aaron, John was at a loss.John did not argue with Aaron and went straight into the house, searching through the closets and drawers for the property deed.After searching for a long time, he could not find it. Aaron and Scarlett also entered the house and stood in the living room, hearing the sound of John rummaging through things in the bedroom, they knew what John was looking for. The property deed had long been hidden by Aaron.John came out: "Dad, give me the property deed."Scarlett, seeing her son getting angry, forced a smile to smooth things over: "John, we're all family, we do this for your own good, worried that you're too hardworking."Before John could say anything, Aaron said: "We gave birth to you; you should take care of us. The house is your way of showing filial piety to us.""Dad, if you don'
Mia served breakfast, and Judy poured a glass of milk for John: "You've never eaten at my house before, this is the first time.""Is Lewis not here?" John looked around."He's on a business trip," Judy said. "The company is busy, and he can't watch over me every day. What happened with you? Is it about Susan?""No." John said, "It's about the house. I've been thinking, I should return the house to you. I don't really need it.""What's going on?" Judy was puzzled. "Didn't you say Zoey needs to study, and that house is perfect? Plus, with your large family, you need a place to live. I've given it to you, so just live in it. Why are you giving it back? Have your parents gone back to the countryside?"John found it hard to talk about it. He felt ashamed to tell Judy about the dirty laundry at home.John lied, "Yes, they are going back to the countryside. I don't need the house, and it's worth over ten million. Judy, this gift is really too precious. I won't feel at ease accepting this hou
The moment John saw Aaron, he had a bad premonition.Aaron stepped forward and slapped him, his face contorted with rage as he pointed and cursed: "Beast, a thing worse than a beast, Zoey is so young, and you could do such a thing to her, she's your own niece."This slap caught John off guard, and Aaron's words left him bewildered.Aaron had come with a television crew, a significant entourage, and his colleagues from the law firm gathered around to see what was happening.Confused, John asked, "Dad, what's going on? What happened to Zoey?""You're still pretending, you beast," Aaron looked at John as if he were an enemy.His gaze, as sharp as a knife, severed John's yearning for family affection.Before John could understand what was happening, a television reporter thrust a microphone in his face: "You're John? You're Zoey's uncle, and Zoey is just a five-year-old girl. You molested her, is this true? How could you do such a thing to such a young child?""Molested?" John thought he
Female reporter: "John, are you planning to take action against your father? He's the one who gave you life and raised you. How could you be so ungrateful?"John, enraged, replied: "What's your name? Which TV station are you from? You're spewing nonsense without any proof. What do you even know? Get that camera off me!"John was so angry that he was losing his rationality, not considering that his words would only lead to more misunderstandings. Perhaps he did consider it, but he just couldn't control his emotions.Ignoring John's warning, the female reporter turned to the camera and, in front of the online audience, stood on a moral high ground to condemn John: "As you can see, today this elderly man came to us for help. He raised his son with great hardship, only to be treated this way by his son, even going so far as to extend his perverted hands towards his own niece...""Try saying that again!" John's anger reached its peak, and he stepped forward to smash the camera.However, th
John saw the hot search and was so angry that he felt his brain swell and almost fainted on the spot.He sat alone in the car, staring at the videos and interviews on his phone, and watched as the comments section filled with insults. He thought about all the efforts he had made for his family over the past few days, and he broke down, hiding in the car and sobbing uncontrollably.His personal information had been leaked, and non-stop netizens were calling in. At first, he answered a few calls, only to be hung up on and forced to turn off his phone.John didn't dare go home. He dared not turn on his phone and drove off alone, leaving the city.At the pizza shop, Judy also saw the relevant news and was very worried about John. She quickly called John, but the phone was turned off.Unable to contact John, Judy was very anxious.Susan saw the hot search and was also worried about John. With John's phone turned off, she could only go to the pizza shop to find Judy."Judy, can you contact
Zoey is the most critical witness in the entire incident. Only her testimony can exonerate John from the suspicion of indecency. Judy is well aware that if she misses today's opportunity, she might not be able to get any information, or even see Zoey again."Zoey, don't be afraid, I'm really not a bad person," Judy tries her best to coax.Next door, Andrew is shouting, telling Zoey to ignore Judy and urging Scarlett to take Zoey away. Fortunately, with Andrew paralyzed and Aaron absent, Judy and Susan would have no chance to question Zoey otherwise.Worried about Aaron's return and potential conflict, especially since she is pregnant and vulnerable, Judy quickly calls Linda, asking her to bring some people over.After notifying Linda, Judy slowly begins to question Zoey. The door is locked from the inside, and she has time.Zoey is still crying, while next door Andrew reaches for his phone and has already called Aaron.Susan, hearing Andrew's warning, rushes to shout at Judy in the ro
Judy saw Susan lying on the ground and was very worried. She quickly went forward to help her up, asking, "Are you okay?"Susan deliberately touched her shoulder and said, "I'm fine."Seeing Judy come out, Aaron immediately went in and pulled Zoey out, asking, "What did she just tell you?"Zoey was quite frightened but didn't dare to cry. She was afraid of Aaron and could only answer honestly, "Grandpa, she asked if my new dad is good to me.""And what else? What else did she ask?"Zoey burst into tears.Seeing Zoey only knew how to cry, Aaron pushed her roughly, "Useless thing, all you know how to do is cry."Seeing Aaron being so fierce with a child, Judy, who was supporting Susan, didn't dare to say anything.Scarlett stepped forward and helped Zoey, who had been pushed over, to stand up, saying, "Zoey, don't cry, grandma is here."Zoey cried even harder.Aaron, holding a stool and looking ready to hit someone, glared menacingly at Judy and Susan, "Get out of here, now!"Judy had g
Scarlett watched all this in shock, her hand clinging to Zoey, shielding Zoey in her arms.Meanwhile, Susan, seeing Aaron hitting Judy, felt a flicker of delight in her heart, wishing Aaron would just smash the chair onto Judy's belly.However, just as the moment was critical, Judy dodged.She reacted quickly, and Aaron's chair missed its target.Judy was shaken and her heart raced; she didn't dare to confront him head-on, and if it were in the past, she would not have been afraid.As Aaron was about to hit Judy again, suddenly a group of people rushed in from outside, led by Lewis.Lewis strode towards Judy, shielding her with his body: "Judy, are you okay?"Judy shook her head: "I'm fine."The bodyguards behind Lewis quickly subdued Aaron, pressing him to the ground.Aaron was scared by the commotion and started to shout deliberately: "They're going to kill me, they're going to kill me!""Calm down!" The bodyguard threatened Aaron.Linda also arrived: "Madam."After receiving the ca
